Single purchase order - Order MATLAB together with your Keysight instrument so that it can be on a single purchase order to save you time, reduce ordering complexity, and typically add only a minimal cost to the purchase

Guaranteed Access - By ordering MATLAB as the N6171A option with your instrument, you ensure that you always have your own MATLAB software license available when you need to use MATLAB with or without your Keysight instrument

Dual technical support - MATLAB installation and technical support is available from either Keysight and or MathWorks when you purchase MATLAB software from Keysight

Description

MATLAB overview

MATLAB is a well-respected software environment and programming language created by MathWorks and now available directly from Keysight as an option with most signal generators, signal analyzers, and spectrum analyzers. MATLAB extends the capabilities of Keysight signal analyzers and generators to make custom measurements, analyze and visualize data, create arbitrary waveforms, control instruments, and build test systems. It provides interactive tools and command-line functions for data analysis tasks such as signal processing, signal modulation, digital filtering, and curve fitting. MATLAB has over 1,000,000 users in diverse industries and disciplines, and it is a standard at more than 3,500 colleges and universities worldwide. Three MATLAB configurations are available and range from basic MATLAB capabilities that allow acquisition and analysis of data to full support for signal processing, communications, filter design, and automated testing.

MATLAB software is available for purchase directly from Keysight with the purchase of a new compatible instrument:

Spectrum and Signal Analyzers: X-Series, PSA

PXI Signal Analyzer: M9290A CXA-m

Vector Transceiver: M9420A PXIe, M9421A PXIe

Vector Signal Generators: X-Series, ESG, PSG

Vector Signal Generators: M9381A PXIe, M9392A PXI

PXI and AXIe Controllers: all models

Arbitrary Waveform Generators: M8190A, M9330A, M9331A, 81180B

Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator: 81150A, 81160A

MATLAB capabilities

Extend the functionality of Keysight signal and spectrum analyzers with MATLAB by analyzing and visualizing measurements, testing modulation schemes, and automating measurements

Excite electronic devices using Keysight signal generators with simple or complex waveforms created in MATLAB

Test the functionality of electronic devices by making measurements with Keysight instruments and comparing them against known baselines in MATLAB

Develop a GUI or application that enables users to perform data analysis or testing

Characterize an electronic device to determine how closely it matches the design

Verify new algorithms or measurement routines using live data from Keysight instruments

Design custom digital filters in MATLAB and apply them to signals acquired from a Keysight instrument

Download the technical kit containing an application note and multiple free MATLAB application examples to demonstrate the value of using MATLAB software together with Keysight signal generators, signal analyzers, PXI and AXIe modular hardware, and other instruments. Note: While these applications are provided at no charge and you are welcome to use them, they require a MATLAB license to operate, and many of these applications are not modifiable until your purchase the N6171A MATLAB option.

Order the N6171A MATLAB option together with your Keysight instrument purchase and receive access to the modifiable version of these example applications (in MATLAB file format). These modifiable examples will allow you to extend or customize the capabilities of these instruments for your specific setup. Applications examples and modifiable MATLAB source code included with your N6171A purchase include:

IQTools application example for Keysight M8190A – Generate arbitrary waveforms and performing amplitude correction for Keysight M8190A, 81180A, M933xA, 81150A, 81160A, and other Keysight signal generators. IQ Tools can be downloaded from the Drivers, Firmware, and Software tab from the Technical Support link on the right-hand side of this page.
